Death of a Respected citizen


George NJ Graf, one OF cur best and most
highly respected citizens, died at his resi-
dence, near this town, on the Both Of May,
in the 10th year Of his age
No man in our county was more highly
esteemed, he trod the path of life in the even
tenor Of his way, noted for his christian
character his industry and thrift. His honor
and integrity were such that even through
so long life never a word Of repr@ach was
cast upon his character or name. For years
he served as one NJ the judges Of election,
and amidst the most heated political con
tests his actions and rulings were such as
never to be questioned by either of the OPP
posing factions
In his death our county has lost good
man and a valuable citizen, a household has
been bereft Of loving husband aud tender
parent, and the church Of his belief has
been deprived Of one Of its most wsrihy
members His christian character was OF
that high order which commanded the cs-
TEEN aud respect Of all who knew him, aud
II might truly be said of him, lie always had
"a conscience void Of offence toward God
and toward man"

A Place of Beauty

A Place of Beauty.-Tnere are mar.
row minded people abroad who are some
time inclined to make jest and sport at others
because OF the pride they take IA beautiiy
ing their homes or lending their influence
and energy to the Improvement OF their
towns and communities.
We'll, if these critics would only come and
make u little visit To our rural town at this
time, cur revenge would be complete. Our
streets, If not crowded, have many pleasant
and pleasing attractions. The trees are
covered with leaves Of dainty colers and
freshness. The private lawns. are nicely
clipped and rolled into yelvety soithess
The lilacs, hyacinths tulips, pinks and roses
welcome the sunshine, and are radiant in
purple and crimson and gold, the elms, oaks
and naples loaded with the richest foliage,
all tend to make Rockville u garden OF
beauty and place Of delight.
Spring, which failed TO visit US this year
until grown too old for welcome or EN-
brace, gives gracefully to the coming sum
mer which approaches in AL the pomp and
spendor OF her queenly attire.

The Court House.

Mr.. Editor Why is it that amidst all
the progress Of the beautiful town of Rock
vile, our county seat, in building and gen
eral adornment the old brick pile, repre-.
senting cur temple of justice, still remains
the same unsightly object that has frowned
its repugnant aspect upon the community
for so many, many years? 1t is absolutely
unsightly and forbidding in its appearance
to the county man who reveres it for its as
sociations of the past. Then what must be
its effect upon the polished vision Of the
stranger who visits Rockville in the con-
temptation of adopting this county for
homer 1t certainly cannot reflect any very
exalted idea of the progressive character Of
our people. What would be the mental com.
ment of our honorable Commissioners were
they to pass through the county seat of
county ranking with ours in point of in
telligcnce and means and look upon such
an unattractive structure as this Tor Court
House? They would doubtless take the i'm.
preston that the people had very little pride
to submit, and the County Commissioners
very little regard for the reputation of the
county to continue such condition of
things in relation to the most conspicuous
structure in the county.
The author OF these observations has
never been an advocate of the project of
building a new Court House at this time,
for the reason that the present building is
substantial and very we'll planned for It's
purpose-the only necessary changes in the
latter respect being such as the building is
susceptible of without any great expense, or
other obstacle. But it is unsighty in the
facts that it should be made to present
more modern appearance in point of exter-
nal and Internal adornment. The outside,
which locks dusty and neglected, should be
painted and pencied in the same manner as
the Town Hall is now being improved; and
other improvements such as would readily
suggest themselves to the Commissioners,
aided by the counsel of two or three we'll
advised citizens, should be made. For in
stance, the iron railing should be painted
bronze color, which is much more attractive
and durable than its present dusty black.
IL would be quite severe burden upon
the tax payers under existing circumstances
to build a new Court House, and there is
u large protion of the county who cannot
see any necessity for such an outlay. But
L think there are none who would not joy
fully concede the utility and advantage of
what is suggested in the foregoing o5serva-
tons. Ron Roy
